NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUITThis notice is given pursuant to Rule 23 of the Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure and pursuant to an Order of the Circuit Court of Faulkner County, Arkansas. A lawsuit entitled Richard Shumate, Jr. and Damon Reed, on behalf of themselves and all similarly situated persons and entities v. City of Conway, an Arkansas municipality is now pending in the Circuit Court of Faulkner County, Arkansas, Case Number 23CV-12-855. Plaintiffs contend that Defendant, the City of Conway, entered into contracts with all persons employed or hired as Policemen or Firemen from December 1, 2001 through December 31, 2012, which obligated the city to pay those employees pursuant to Police and Fire Pay Grids approved by the City Council. Plaintiffs further allege that Defendant breached those contracts when it ceased making periodic salary “step” increases required by the Pay Grids. Plaintiffs Richard Shumate, Jr. and Damon Reed have undertaken to represent similarly situated Policemen and Firemen employed by Defendant City of Conway at any time between December 1, 2001 and December 31, 2012. Plaintiffs seek to recover all monetary damages caused by the breaches of these contracts, and they have also asked the Court to enter an injunction prohibiting Defendant from in the future committing similar breaches of the employment contracts with its Policemen and Firemen. Defendant denies that it has breached the employment contracts with its Policemen and Firemen as maintained by Plaintiffs. The Court has not ruled on any of the above claims, but will permit all parties to offer proof on these issues. The Court will then decide the merits of all of these issues at the close of the case.
